[9fans] nile, a rio derivative

2013-10-17 Thread a
While poking around for something unrelated, I found a 9fans message[1] from Russ describing a hypothetical menuless (sic) rio. It sounded interesting so I've mostly implemented it in nile[2], a rio derivative I've been poking at. I think it does everything described in that message but the title b

how does one delete windows that have another window manager running inside (rio or nile)? On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 11:03 AM, wrote: > While poking around for something unrelated, I found a 9fans > message[1] from Russ describing a hypothetical menuless (sic) > rio. It sounded interesting so I'v

nice! i've been thinking in the past that the scroll dichotomy (some like noscroll and some don't) can be solved similarly to OSX's terminal -- if you're at the bottom of the page it scrolls down, if you're anywhere else it does not. the last line of text (the line with the prompt, or an empty lin

I am not keen on the menu less idea, but being a sam-ista its not surprising. I did play with the chording patch to sam but never trained myself fully. I also find it odd that sam doesn't do the autoscroll that rio and windows/macos do these days. Maybe I will have a hack at that somewhen. I lik

I don't recall if it's an exact match, but that sounds roughly like what's in plan9port. I like it. --- Begin Message --- nice! i've been thinking in the past that the scroll dichotomy (some like noscroll and some don't) can be solved similarly to OSX's terminal -- if you're at the bottom of the p

// The one I still occasionally miss is 9term's look option // which used to use before I had real plan9 :-) Me too. I'm hoping to get to that. There's a no-op in nile's button 2 menu (when running without -m) now. Hopefully it'll be functional soonish.

// how does one delete windows that have another window // manager running inside (rio or nile)? To delete a window with any graphical program, you'll need external help. Under the hood, you write 'delete' to the target window's wctl file. The winwatch fork mentioned makes this easier.

i liked this option, and don't understand why it was removed. it beats 'history' implementation in every command. On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 1:06 PM, wrote: > // The one I still occasionally miss is 9term's look option > // which used to use before I had real plan9 :-) > > Me too. I'm hoping to ge

i discovered one way to do it without winwatch. since any window can be the target of a Delete, one can select Delete from the context of one window and use it on another window. On Thu, Oct 17, 2013 at 12:57 PM, wrote: > // how does one delete windows that have another window > // manager runn
